What does "Just Play" mean?

[bonson]

I'm setting up some zap timers using the Android app. The last option is a tickbox called "Just Play". I noticed a zap timer I created using the normal on-screen setup has this option ticked when I look at it in the Android app. Can someone please tell me what this option means.

Thanks

It means pretty much what it says. Change to the channel in the timer and don't record. It's the same as the "zap" setting for Timer type in a timer set through the T series Add/Edit Timer screen, though it's also "Just play" when you set/edit a timer through Open Webif..

I don't know why it got a different name in the OpenWebif Web screens and the app.The field that implements this is "justplay" in the Open Webif XML, so perhaps the option name was taken from there. The variable that controls this in a timer object internally is also "justplay".
